Aberrometry

Aberrometry uses advanced technology to measure how light travels through the eye, identifying higher-order aberrations that can’t be detected by standard exams. This precise analysis allows for highly customized vision correction, delivering sharper and clearer vision, particularly in complex cases like keratoconus.

Profilometry

Profilometry provides an in-depth, non-invasive map of the scleral surface, capturing minute details and irregularities that are crucial in the treatment of keratoconus. This technology allows us to design custom-fit lenses that provide superior comfort and vision, tailored precisely to the unique contours of your eye.

Ocular Coherence Tomography (OCT)

OCT offers high-resolution, cross-sectional images of the cornea and retina, enabling early detection and detailed monitoring of keratoconus. This non-invasive technique is vital for tracking the progression of the condition and making informed decisions about the best course of treatment to preserve and enhance your vision.

Corneal Topography

Corneal topography creates a detailed, color-coded map of the cornea’s shape, helping to accurately diagnose keratoconus and guide the fitting of specialty contact lenses. This technology is essential for developing customized treatment plans that optimize vision and ensure the best possible comfort and performance for each patient.

As a practicing doctor and educator, I’m passionate about sharing knowledge with my peers. Whether through speaking at conferences, participating in research, or writing for peer-reviewed journals, I’m dedicated to advancing the field of keratoconus care and ensuring that every patient receives the best possible treatment.
